Nice, but what does it have to do with a 100 year old pot dug in Virginia?

was meant to show a pot like that one listed could have been made by native americans, because it has been a tradition for years and to make rolled clay pots.
and the headline says clay old women clay old man and that just so happens to be the picture on the pot
but other than that i don't know

Good Morning,

We are not sure what your piece is. We've never seen American pottery that looked liked this.
It is most likely foreign, probably Mexican.
Sorry we could not have been more helpful.

Best Regards,

Mmm, I'm not a pottery expert, but I disagree. I don't think it is foreign. The Native American Indians made unglazed pottery as a necessity. I don't think this pot/crock is ancient, but I do think it is mid to late-1800's. My ggrandmother lived on a small reservation until early adulthood, which was mid-1800's. Most of the pottery was the 'coil' type, which looked like a long snake stacked on top of each row. The coil around the man & woman, plus the coil type legs & arms reminds me of this type of pottery. All parts of both the man & woman were made from rolled or coiled clay. I may be waaaaaay off in my thoughts, but I'd research the Native American tribes in your area (area where found), plus check to see how far this crock was found from a river or creek. Breezie

Yep. And every piece of copper scrap we dig can be a copper culture artifact because it could've been made by native americans, since there were some that made copper artifacts a thousand years ago.

You're hilarious!


Nice to hear the reply from CrockerFarm. They are top notch--and they know their stoneware.

Well I think it is really cool! I sent my sister this link - she collects stoneware (she has dealt with CrockerFarm and recommends them too) and she thinks it's wonderful.

If I found anything like that I would display it proudly in my home as a great find
